As of October 1st, Kris and Tamara will open the doors of De Leemskuil in Lozen. The duo, originally from Hamont, brings hospitality experience and intends to make the venue a welcoming meeting point.

Following their successful period managing Café De Burg in Hamont, Kris and Tamara are moving to Lozen to revitalize De Leemskuil. Their backgrounds in the construction sector (Kris) and in management roles within cleaning and hospitality (Tamara) provide them with a diverse skill set for the venture.
The new management emphasizes their vision for De Leemskuil as a place where everyone feels welcome. They aim for an accessible atmosphere for local residents stopping by for a drink or a chat, as well as for cyclists and hikers seeking a break. Local associations will also play a central role and can expect active support for their activities.
Kris and Tamara are eager to meet new people and welcome back regular customers. Their goal is to become the go-to spot within a year, the place people spontaneously suggest: 'Shall we go to De Leemskuil?'
